Alan Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah Cooper, it is about 12 days F/S that the parents are starting to get the urge again and dispose of the babies as they are considered the major threat to their new breeding efforts. Try taking out half of them at about a week old and raise separately. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimbochromis_freak Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 feed them micro worms when they are seperated. feed them 2-3 times a day and they should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
